Ben Shelton defeated Hubert Hurkacz 6-3, 5-7, 7(7)-6(3), 7-5 — US Open 2026 R64.
Ben Shelton and Hubert Hurkacz: Ben Shelton leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Broken straight back for 4-4 in the second set after edging ahead in game 7, Shelton spent the middle of this one chasing a delivery he could barely touch, out-aced 14-6 and grinding through a third set that produced no break of serve at all before the tiebreak. The second ball settled it. Hurkacz won just 31 of 56 points behind his, seven double faults included, while Shelton took 25 of 38 and 34 of 48 at net — the win arriving against the grain of a left-handed serve that is normally the engine of everything he does. Two heavy servers with no prior meetings on record, and it took 3 hours and 17 minutes to separate them. The Canadian Open champion, now 20-6 on hard this season, moves into the last 32.
